president obama in his press conference today put the blame very squarely on republican, particularly in the house leaders, saying that the pledge to not raise any revenue from tax increases is simply not a balanced approach and not what the american people voted for in 2012 and what they express that they want. how do you make the case that he's wrong even if he was elected on a strong vote in 2012 and public opinions suggest the balanced approach is the one, as opposed to just spending cuts or just tax increases. the balanced approach is that sweet spot that people want. >> here's the way i look at it. the president was re-elected and he got a $600 billion tax increase two months ago. and there were no spending cuts with it, by the way. it was all a tax increase. so, taxes have been decided. now, the issue shifts to spending. and i'll say, i don't think there's a clamor in the country for a second tax increase over a two-month period. because the first one wasn't big enough. i don't think if someone pretends to be speaking for the country when they say that y don't think they're lis
